The airline transport pilot of the CFR Part 121 scheduled passenger flight landed the airplane on an ice-covered, gravel airstrip in gusty crosswind conditions. He estimated the winds were a direct crosswind at 20-25 knots, and gusty. The pilot reported that after a straight-in approach to runway 16, a gust of wind caused the airplane to slide sideways on the runway during the landing roll. The airplane exited the right side of the runway, the nose landing gear collapsed, and the airplane came to rest on the nose and right wing. The airplane received structural damage to the nose and right wing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the gusty crosswind wind condition, which resulted in a loss of control during the landing roll, and the collapse of the nose landing gear. Factors associated with the accident were the crosswind and wind gusts.
